Just to let you know, per you request I've ported OpenList to the WebExtension format (so that it'll work other browsers as well). It's really a 1:1 port, nothing removed, nothing added.

It's available on Firefox Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/openlist/

The sources are available on my fork: https://github.com/Outpox/OpenList

Holy damn, thanks so much. I didn't expect my cry for help to go anywhere.

It was in my native language (French). According to the "Translation" link[0] it's available in English, Japanese, Chinese and French.

It uses HTTP content negotiation, based on the Accept-Language header.

Well I'd say that if it's an authorization service there will be cryptographic calculation which is "heavy" on the CPU.

I don't think that's what it does. "the authorization service that determines whether a user is allowed to, say, publish a particular package"

Also, I would assume any crypto in v8 is already written in C, with JS calling into it.

Users who suggest cryptography are getting downvoted (myself included). I am curious as to why. Is it perceived as spam or an attack on nodejs? Encrypted cookies and JWT (json web tokens) rely on a similar strategy so this is pretty standard. It would be pretty secure as long as the encryption key is not unique, so definitely not criticism on the NPM team but mere theories as to why a (what one would assume is a) database or memory bottle-neck is being presented as a CPU bottleneck in this scenario.

I believe it's a typo and should read "Although it can usually work if all you have is the subtitles file [...]". This means that you would use a reference file that would allow you to synchronize your subtitles.

I could imagine having a file with correctly-synced subs in the wrong language. Maybe that would be a good reference file.

(I think you're correct subbing "subtitles file" for "video file".)

I've worked quite a bit with Dart on my time the past year and it was great. Being a JS/TS developper I found my mark pretty quickly. However as it's not _that_ popular and the online resources (be it SO questions or articles) are a bit scarce and the most recent one are usually centered around Flutter and not just Dart. I'll keep playing with it and if the possibility would occur I'd happily work full time with Dart.

I disagree, we've been using it with friends of mine and I enjoy it. The main reason is so that's it's easier to generate a changelog as we're following the Angular commit guideline. I would consider Angular a successful project and this is their git history: https://github.com/angular/angular/commits/master

I mean, I've seen it used by larger teams as well. For example Sentry uses it. I've also had feedback from several devs using it in such teams that the whole thing was "bureaucratic bullshit".

That said if you and your friends are happy users of it, I'm glad. I suspect that if you have a small team that knows each other well enough, that is a bit of an extension of a one-person project and it can still remain. I personally have seen the system crumble enough times with even one single user, not to trust it in the hands of two at once.

Well yeah that's exactly this. Tough I've got to admit that it doesn't work that well as we'd like regarding external pull requests since contributors do not all read our commit guidelines.

This is just plain boring to be honest, I don't want to be notified when a new article is released, I'd rather manually check a RSS app when I want to read such news instead of receiving a notification while I'm working. To each its own I guess.

I was going to suggest this as well. I've used it to explain some features to a friend while we were on Discord.

DuckDuckGo has improved a lot for me the past year. I used to retry my query on Google when the results were not enough but I don't need to as often now.

Same for me. I've had DDG as the default search engine for a while now. Initially mostly for the instant results and bang shortcuts, but these days I find myself using !g very very rarely.

Same here as well. And I've been finding DDG to even given better results increasingly often, at least on the sample of searches that I've used multiple engines for.

The one thing I really miss is insta-results for things like 'population of USA'. On the other hand, I think Google was going a bit too far with that and started giving insta-results that at times were subjective, or even simply wrong.

Time for the next step: An open source search engine.

I've been using findx.com as my default search engine lately. I still use the find on google option often though, since it's not nearly as good as DDG (There is a search on DDG option next to the Google one as well).

I would suggest adding Scaleway[0] to the list. I've used their server a bit and it worked well. I know them because of their parent company (Online) which I've been a custom for quite a few years now.
